SM Entertainment director sparks fury and is accused of "abusing" NCT following her appearance on tvN’s "You Quiz on the Block".
Recently, the director of SM Entertainment’s artist development center, Yoon Hee Jun, appeared on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block.
During the episode, she spoke about why idols in SM Entertainment go through harsh training, specifically mentioning NCT.
When the clip was shared among international fans, it sparked major uproar.
YHI : Being loved isn’t something to be taken for granted. Out of so many artists and so much music, being chosen and loved is a special thing, and I don’t think we should ever take that for granted. And to be worthy of that love, I believe you need to have the skill and effort…

Netizens believe it was abuse towards the young idols and were shocked that Yoon Hee Jun seemed proud of the methods used with NCT. They called her disgusting and how these kinds of people took credit for idols’ success, when they were causing them so much pain.
So psychological abuse? Is this something to be proud off? https://t.co/Q7C43nNBy4
